Cats Count Too!

Cats Count Too!

The Issue

There are currently no laws of protection for cats in our community. Dogs and livestock are all a protected species, yet cats are deemed less of an animal. After losing a cat to an attack by a dog off its lead , I would like cats to have the same basic rights as other animals. Cats would be a lot safer from other animals if owners took basic control of their animals. Dogs to be on a lead in residential areas, dogs deemed unsafe around other animals to be muzzled. This is basic care for other people's pets and would save a lot of distress to families. Please sign to show your support for cats and be a voice to those unheard! #Makecatscount
